This information helps us understand how users navigate our Site and improve its functionality. This data does not personally identify you; there is no login or register functionality, thus no behaviors or data can be linked to any specific user.

ii) Cookies and Similar Technologies: We do not use cookies or similar technologies (such as browser local storage) in an effort to further protect user anonymity and privacy.
